Floor replacement

[awthacker]

Your work looks good. I think destroyers right though. Usually you set saw depth to cut wood but leave the bottom skin, then glue your new wood to the skin, that way it's protected underneath. I doubt much water will touch the underside of your floors, though and it should be good for 10+ years. It looks awesome!

The new plywood i installed was coated in two coats of resin and glass, the top side was coated in three coats of resin and two layers of chop glass. The bottom skin was cracked in so many places I opted to just remove the whole thing and left a two inch edge to reattach the new floor to.....it worked out quite well....

I will go postal on mine someday also with a chainsaw, I will make it a bowrider with semi surround seating and storage locker below the seats is my plan.....My buddy went back to the Ukraine so no Beers and borsch so no work if you know what I mean

Wow... Awesome work. I like that tower. Ever thought about putting a station up there?

 

[NormanXanders]

I thought about it, there is another section that goes on top of the tower, it locks into it but its just a rail to keep you from falling off, the kids like using the top to jump in the water from....
